| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
With two of their best players PJ Washington and Quade Green returning and a top 3 recruiting class Kentucky is legit |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Mephis transfer Dedric Lawson is a big transfer for the Jayhawks who could be a key player for them plus two 5 star guards |
| 3 |
Duke
|
No. 1 Recruiting class with Zion, Barrett and Reddish could be a powerhouse trio but they may need to see how the loss of Grayson Allen goes |
| 4 |
North Carolina
|
UNC is a weird team. On paper they have a really good recruiting class plus potential All-American Luke Maye is back |
| 5 |
Gonzaga
|
Gonzaga hoping to recapture their 2017 run is back with an amazing team with Tillie and Hachimura returning Big West is pretty much theirs |
| 6 |
Nevada
|
With all their team pretty much returning the Wolfpack are legit contenders with the Dual Threat Martin Brothers |
| 7 |
Tennessee
|
Top 6 scorers return + SEC player of the year Grant Williams |

Virginia
|
UMBC is the enemy of them. Hopefully they can forget that loss with 7 of their top 10 players returning |

Basically their whole Elite 8 team is back. Bruce Weber's squad is legit Kansas needs to watch out KSU is coming for the Big 12 |
